Police hold sexagenarian over concealed 9mm bullet

ANOTHER sexagenarian passenger was denied boarding a plane on early on Sunday morning because of a bullet concealed in her handbag. Sixty-five-year-old Nimfa Fontamillas from Cavite, who was travelling along with her daughter identified as Menchu Tan, refused to open her bag until a lawyer appeared for her. The two were supposed to board a Tiger Airways flight TR2729 for Singapore when the interception occurred at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 final x-ray scanner at 5:30 am on Sunday. A lawyer identified as Clint Estandarte who later appeared to represent Fontamillas allowed the authorities to open her bag but requested to let the bag pass through the x-ray machine one more time.
